Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri has pledged his ‘total support’ to Ronald Koeman.
Koeman is under intense scrutiny after presiding over the Blues’ fourth defeat in their opening seven Premier League games at home to Burnley.
Boos greeted Sunday’s reversal to Sean Dyche’s side, with the Dutchman admitting that any decision on his Goodison Park future was out of his hands.
But in a message relayed to broadcaster Jim White, Moshiri launched an impassioned defence of Everton’s start to the season and reaffirmed his faith in Koeman.
He said: “We are in a bad moment.
“But we have played the four title contenders, three [of them] away.
“Today (Sunday) was the only unexpected loss. The four pre-qualifying UEFA [Europa League] games and two group games on Thursdays haven’t helped.
“There is mental and physical fatigue and seven injuries.
“These are early days and Koeman has my total support. We have great fans and they deserve better.
“We know the honest and objective expectations of our supporters and will not let them down.”
